MIR. BLAINE.
Banquet to be rendered Him by
the. Han nkers.

CHICAGO, April 2O.--Mr. Blaine is
looking well, and seems to have grown
much stouter than he was when last in
Chicago. During the morning, United
States Senator Farwell, Congressman
Durham and Chairman Jones, of the
Illinois Republican State Central Conn
mittee, sent up their cards and desired
to see Mr.. Blaine. Walker Blaine met
them in the rotunda of the hotel, and
explained his fathers need of rest, and
the callers withdrew. Later in the day,
Blaine received a number of personal
friends, but positively declined to
see reporters, or to be interviewed
on any subject, political or otherwise
Emmons Blaine stated that his father
would probably remain in Chicago sew.
eral days, and perhaps q week. He
needed rest at present after his long
Journey, but to morrow would quite
likely receive all who call upon him.
1t was announced to the sons of Mr..
Blaine that the bankers of this city pro-
posed to give banquet during their
fathers stay in Chicago, and would re-
quest from him some expression Of his
views upon the financial and business
prospects of the country. 1t was not
learned whether Blaine would accept
the invitation or not, but q committee
will wait on him to morrow for the pur-
pose of extending formal invitation
and of learning his wish on the matter.

handed to the moderator a letter from

LONDON, April 20.-Giadstone writes
Il attach very high value to the impor',
ancs of the manifestations, now inces.
SAINT, of American as we'll as Colonial
sympathy with the Irish people in the
crisis created by the causeless insulting
of the insidious bill at present before
Parliament. Apart from particular and.
more or less, formal Acknowledgements,
| am not of the opinion that it would be
proper or expedient in me 10 take ituron
myself to address any general communi.
cation to America on this subject, Which,
however, noticed, and may again notice
in Parliament. Still, am very anxious
that the people Of this country should
have some means Of understanding how
much beyond the range of any sectional
impulses, and how truly national the
movement in the United States has be
come; and in that view I would recon-
mend that every endeavor be made to
present some estimate OF the aggregate
number of persons by which the recent
meetings in America have been attended,
likewise especially an estimate of the
number of Governors, Mayors, Senators,
Representatives, Clergymen and other
official or highly responsible persons, by
when such meetings were countenanced
or supported.

this country and went to Brooklyn in
search of an aunt, her only Surviving
relative. After an unsuccessful search
she sought and obtained employment as
a saleswoinan in New York. About .
year ago she became acquainted with
Jesse Thorne, young dry goods clerk.
After a protracted courtship Tborne
and Miss Ellingsworth became engaged
and the cards were out for the wedding
next week. Last Saturday night, how
ever, Thorne called and asked to be re-
leased from his engagement. He as
signed as the cause his inability to sup-
port wife, and under the circumstances
Miss Ellipgsworth cancelled the engage
ment.
The next night, while out walking in
Jersey City with Miss Dsrrow, the
daughter of her landlady, Miss Elliugs-
worth passed her former fiince with
young woman leaning on his arm. She
left Miss Darrow and followed tho
couple. Thorne left the young woman
at house on Bergen avenue, and "a be

About the time Tuesday night that
Miss Ellingsworth thought that Thorne
would visit the young lady she went to

preached, she went up to him, and,
drawing from under the folds Of her
cloak large rawhide, vigorously be-
labored him across the face aid
shoulders. He shriekfd with pam,
and made an attempt to run
away, but Miss Ellirgsworth followed
lin mp, plying the whip relentlessly
over his back. His cries for help brought
Edward Gillespie and James Kennedy,
two young men who reside in the CON-
munity, to the scene. They Immediately
took in the situation and volunteered to
thrash Thorne for the il jured womar,
but che refused TO permit them to touch
him. After soundly castigating him Miss
Ellingsworth said:
"Now CO." at the same fine raising

sixth Anniversary of the Death
of Lord BeacOnsfield


of Lord BeacOnsfield
LONDON, April 0.--Lord Salisbury in
an address delivered last night before
the Primrose League, at Albert Palace,
the occasion beipg the sixth anniversary
of the death of Lord Beaconsfeld, said
that the present Irish Crimes bill would
not compare in stripgency with Glad.
stones bill of 1881. Under the latter
measure people were imprisoned without
trial. This could not be done under
the present bill. The suppression of
crime in Ireland did not mean the sup.
preston of liberty. Salisbury made
the proposition that Gladstone would
find it difficult to gather around him any
new recruits--that his present adher.
ents had gone too far to recede. He
asked the Premier what had Gladstone
gained; he had gained eighty-sx very
devoted followers of Parnell who have
been charged with having approved of
the murder, aud who had refused, or
whose friends had refused for him, to
enter the witness box and deny the
charge, and this course Gladstone
approved Of. Parnell had been
assisted with funds subscribed
by men who educated murderers. How
could Gladstone 60 before the country
associated with men who refused to sub.
nit such a question to the Judgment of
an English jury? The speaker did not
believe in Gladstone's horoscope. The
victory which Gladstone obtained in
1880 was won by food of misrepre.
sentation that could not be repeated.
The Conservatives were now an organ.
lied party, powerfufto refute falsehood.
This condition of the party was largely
due to the work of the Primrose
League. The present Government
would, when it left office, hand down
unimpaired to their successor the great
trust which the Empire had committed
TO their charge. [Cheers].

A Famous Anarchist Ina chicago.


CHICAGO. April 2O.-The Daily NeUs
Tomorrow will say that q letter fro m
Rudolph Schnaubslt. the much looked
for Anarchist and alleged thrower of
bombs in Hay Market, has been re-
ceived in Chicago, aud those who are in
a position to know do not for moment
doubt its authenticity. The letter is
dated Christiana, Norway, March 1887,
and reached here through the medium
Of the Anarchist sheet issued in London
by an Austrian Socialist, named
Josh Peikert, who is an old
friend of Schnaubelt's. The fugitive
denies throwing the bomb, but intimates
that he is sorry he did not do it, and
that he left because he knew it wasn't
safe for him here. He deferred any &C.
count of his travels until he can write
again, but it is understood by his
friends here that he was on the Pacific
Coast until the Anarchist trial was
ended in Chicago, and then worked his
way to Canton, thence going to Sydney,
later to Bombay, and finally to Norway,
being now on one of the vessels in the
Northern Sea, fishing for herring.
